Sound in MAME

[coachcarstens]

I did a search of these boards, but I was not able to find the answer.  (I'm sure it's there, just I couldn't find it) 

Anyways, When using MAME32 to play a game the sound seems to "double."  It seems to happen in ITS games, but definetly in the golden tee games.  Like, when you hit a ball in the water, the guy should say, "That looks wet."  When I play it says "That looks, that looks wet."  Does anyone else notice this?  I'm wondering if there a setting I have to tweak or what I could do.  I also notice the "echo" in world class bowling games.  Thanks for any help you can give me.

Try turning off triple buffer for those games, They require quite a bit of cpu.

Also turn your sample rate down to 22k.

I tired tweaking both of those settings, and things are still as they were before.  So, if I'm getting the correct idea here, this "problem" is related to processing spped/available memory, not really a setting within MAME?

Thanks,

Mine does that too in World Class bowling and WCB deluxe....also does it in Ghouls N Ghosts.  I have a 1.3 processor, and plenty of memorty so i'm not sure what the deal is...maybe it's not fast enough?  My triple buffer is off also.  I just live with it...with the WCB games, the echo seems to stop once the actual bowling match gets underway.

Well, that is much faster than what I'm running - 500 pentium celeron processor.  So, maybe it is the emulation of the hardware?  Someone much smarter than me knows.....

Yes, your computer is not fast enough.
